According to the Driving Standards Agency (DSA), the average number of training hours required to pass is around 40 hours. This may sound like a lot, but remember you are acquiring a life skill and in order to pass you will need to prove to the examiner that you are competent on today's roads with an understanding of the DSA syllabus.

Our syllabus is as follows:
1. Cockpit drill/explanation of car controls.

2. Moving off and stopping.

3. Use of gears/Mirrors/Clutch control/Traffic calming.

4. Junctions/emerging and approaching/crossroads/one way/stop.

5. Meeting traffic/crossing/overtaking.

6. Pedestrian crossings.

7. Roundabouts.

8. Country roads.

9. Dual carriageways.

10. Turn in the road/reverse around a corner/bay park/parallel park/emergency stop.

11. Vehicle safety checks.

12. Following the road ahead.

The practical test can be booked when your instructor agrees that your level of competence has reached the required standard. This can be booked online at www.directgov.uk or by phoning 0300 200 1122 (English language) or 0300 200 1133 (Welsh language). The current fee is £62.00, plus the cost of your instructor's vehicle for the practical test (weekend fees are currently £75.00).

The practical test will last approximately 40 minutes, during which you will need to show the examiner that you are a competent and safe driver. You will be required to carry out one manoeuvre and perform 10 minutes of independent driving (This is where you will have to follow road signs to a destination or a diagram of the road ahead).

You will be allowed up to 15 minor driving faults. A serious or dangerous fault will result in failure.

Remember
If you don't pass your theory or practical test, and want to take another test, you'll have to pay again. You have to pay the full amount for any retests that you take. DSA does not give discounts for retests.
